An old hippy once said to me
Life is easy if you let it be easy
As I sat near the freeway hitching
My plan was to discover Amerika
I had travelled over a thousand miles
But I had discovered fuck all
I say fuck all but I had discovered the love
Of the common folk in the destitute towns
They fed and watered me and a doctor gave me medicine
When I developed a dry dust cough
They were fascinated by my Englishness and my accent
Which they considered a little strange and rather posh
I am slowly heading south as I want to discover what makes
The Southern States tick a century and a half after the civil war
Perhaps I will find nothing I do not know what I will find
But that is another story which I will share in future weeks
Take it easy
